Lorena Wiebes shows off winning sprint at Omloop van het Hageland
SD Worx sprinter beats Marta Bastianelli and Audrey Cordon-Ragot in Tielt-Winge
SD Worx have capped off a successful weekend of classics racing as Lorena Wiebes sprinted to victory at Omloop van het Hageland, just one day after her teammate Lotte Kopecky secured a solo win at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.
Wiebes won the sprint for second place at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad the previous day, giving SD Worx a 1-2 in the classics opener.
However, on Sunday's Omloop van het Hageland, a reduced peloton arrived at the final together, where Wiebes was able to show off her winning sprint taking the victory ahead of Marta Bastianelli (UAE Team ADQ) and Audrey Cordon-Ragot (Zaaf Cycling).
The field raced 123.9km from Aarschot to Tielt-Winge, however, several crashes marred the race along the cobblestone sections.
Arianna Fidanza (Ceratizit-WNT) and Alison Jackson (EF Education-TIBCO-SVB) were part of the most decisive breakaway of the day. The effort of SD Worx, that were riding for their sprinter Wiebes, reduced the gap to the breakaway unit a reduced field was back together for the final.
The small field arrived for the final where SD Worx proved to have the strongest lead-out delivering Wiebes to the day's victory.
